Information Introduction The Lotte World Folk Museum is a place where one can learn a great deal more of Korea's rich 5000-year-history
It was designed for both international visitors and Koreans alike to easily learn and enjoy Korean culture and history
One of the museum's more appealing characteristics is that it uses animation and smaller scale models to better illustrate various aspects of Korea's past
This makes learning much more enjoyable for visitors
It has restored several important cultural assets and features daily traditional music and dance performances
There are also many corners where the audiences can participate together
There is a traditional marriage ceremony vestibule where the bride and groom may marry one another according to the traditional marriage decorum
Perhaps if you are lucky you might participate in one yourself
The most important exhibit hall at Lotte World Folk museum is the history exhibition hall
Starting from the entrance you are able to meet the landscape and folk paintings
On the ceiling of the audiovisual room, pictures of the map of Korean Peninsula, crater of Mt
Baekdusan, and the galaxy unfold before your eyes
Through this multi-vision technique you are able to observe Korean traditional performances
Along past the entrance and the multi-vision room you enter the prehistoric ages
The prehistoric ages room presents a tyrannosaurus model roughly half its original size
You may be able to take a peek at the Stone Age life by looking at the relics of that time such as a dinosaur’s egg, fossil and dinosaur animation
It will be hard for those to walk away from the prehistoric age room if you are interested in those things
However, many other exciting places await you
At the model village you will be able to view the life styles and diverse customs of the Joseon dynasty
At Imjinwaeran Hall you will be able to view through advanced visual technology, the magic vision, simulating the fighting scenes of General Yi Sun-Sin that took place during that time

At the Folk Playground, the weapons and instruments of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910) are exhibited
There are models of the villages of Korean ancestors as well
You will marvel at the amusing and colorful miniatures
